Forwards request of 'Mr. M" as promised.
Review enclosed letter from JH to Lord Aberdeen [G. Hamilton-Gordon]. Henry Finch seems willing to accept position in reorganized Mint.
Matters discussed in meeting with CT: hiring of Henry Finch on probation; denial of Robert Mushet's claim for raise, except through promotion (JH annotation: Now Mushet will expect promotion); [Chancellor of Exchequer] W. E. Gladstone's alternative to shortage of copper coins.
